Beek's Blog: Grube's 11-year journey finally gets him to the majors
Jarrett Grube's journey to the major leagues took him through 11 minor league seasons and 319 appearances, but when the former Modesto Nuts' pitcher made his debut on Saturday, he got the full baptism.
Grube, a 32-year-old righty who went 4-2, .369 in 42 appearances for the 2006 Nuts, made his big league debut in Oakland for the Los Angeles Angels. He retired the first batter he faced – Josh Donaldson – before giving up a three-run homer to Yoenis Cespedes in what became an 11-3 A's victory.
Chris Lampe of San Jose, the California League's historian, is keeping close track on all the former Cal Leaguers who make their way to the majors. Grube is the 27th former Cal League player to make a major league debut this season, and first former Modesto player.
Overall, 2,478 major league players have come through the Cal League en route to the majors, and Grube is the 296th former Modesto player to reach the show. Every other current Cal League franchise had an ex-player reach the majors before Modesto this season, but Modesto still leads the league in the all-time number of alums in the major leagues.
Grube, an Indiana native, was a 10th round pick of the Rockies in 2004 and received a $7,500 signing bonus out of the University of Memphis. He pitched for Double-A Tulsa in 2007-09, then pitched in independent ball before being signed by Seattle and reaching the Triple-A level in 2010-12.
He finished the 2012 season in Double-A with the Angels and this season was 3-2, 3.52 with Triple-A Salt Lake City before getting the call.

Gabriel Agbonlahor has been ruled out of England's friendly with Spain at Wembley on Saturday with a hamstring injury.
The Aston Villa forward was hoping to win his fourth cap but suffered an injury in training on Friday.
While the damage is not thought to be serious, it was decided to send Agbonlahor back to Villa for further treatment, ending his chances of facing the world and European champions.
"Gabriel Agbonlahor has this morning returned to Aston Villa," confirmed the FA.
"Having been assessed by the England medical staff, Agbonlahor is unable to train at Wembley and has returned to his club."

What yould you expect to pay for a "Sig brand name" 357Sig barrel for a model SP 2340??
How about after market barrels, any good ones (& their cost) that fit the Sig 2340? Any personal experience with any of these barrels? Been shopping around and just can't find any listed, other than one after market one in the Brownells catalog. Yet to read the articles, you would think that the market must be flooded with this "super popular" "new" caliber barrels. k |

Gifts of Securities
As you may know, the benefits of donating appreciated securities (stock or mutual funds) are tremendous. By doing so, you are able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation and are also able to claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the security on the date of the gift.
If you desire to make a gift of appreciated securities to TWR, here are helpful instructions for you:

Clinical significance of variations in the interconnections between flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus in the region of the knot of Henry.
O'Sullivan, E., Carare-Nnadi, R., Greenslade, J. and Bowyer, G. (2005) Clinical significance of variations in the interconnections between flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus in the region of the knot of Henry. Clinical Anatomy, 18, (2), 121-125. (doi:10.1002/ca.20029).
Full text not available from this repository.
Tendon transfer of the flexor digitorum longus tendon (FDLT) or the flexor hallucis longus tendon (FHLT) into the tibialis posterior tendon is carried out in patients with tibialis posterior dysfunction. FDLT and FHLT are connected in the region of the knot of Henry. The present study has investigated the anatomical variations of this tendinous interconnection. The results could be used to determine which of the two tendons should be transected proximal to the region of the knot of Henry in the surgical treatment of tibialis posterior dysfunction. In over two-thirds of cadaver specimens investigated, tension applied solely to FHLT resulted in flexion of all digits and the hallux. On the basis of these results, we propose that identification of the tendon to be transected should be decided at the time of surgery depending on the anatomical pattern. Based on the evidence provided by 16 cadaveric dissections, transection of FDLT proximal to the region of the knot of Henry for the repair of tibialis posterior dysfunction would result in retention of function of the hallux and lesser digits in the majority of cases.

CCA graduates largest class in school's history
Written by David Stewart
June 12, 2008
57 receive diplomas in stirring ceremony
At 11 a.m. on June 7, the school bells tolled at Cape Cod Academy as the graduating class of 2008 led a procession to the ceremony held on the Osterville school's soccer field.
That morning CCA teachers, fellow students, parents and friends said goodbye to the senior class of 57 students, the largest in its 32 years.
"It's exciting and a bit sad," Abigail Crowell said. "This is a small school and we're all close with one another. On one hand, it's sad. At the same time, we are just saying to ourselves, 'Let's go!'"
The ceremony began with an invocation by the Rev. Lawrence Brown, CCA teacher, as students and faculty paid homage to those who could not be at the ceremony.
Speaking to her fellow graduates, Whitney Shapiro addressed the issue of teamwork and how it has become an effective part of Cape Cod Academy.
"We began learning from each other," she said. "Our ultimate test of unity was during spirit week against the freshman, sophomores, and juniors. Every senior was wearing blue (the school color) from head to toe."
At Cape Cod Academy, Shapiro said, "we learned to give 100 percent of everything we did.
Something that will stay with us is CCA's four core values: scholarship, honesty, respect, and compassion."
Richard Colby, a humanities teacher who is retiring from the school, offered the next speech.
"When I close my eyes, I can remember all the teachers I had from 1
grade to post-graduation. In 30 or 40 years from now, I hope you do the same as well," he said.
Colby compared described life as a big net holding in all the things that one should use for themselves and for others, bringing out a net and showing the senior class what they should carry for that long road ahead.
"If you see someone without a smile, give them a smile. According to a Russian proverb, 'if everyone gives the poor man a thread, he will have a shirt.'"
Colby's speech concluded with rousing the class and audience in a chant of "Let's Go!" as he suggested that cheerleading should be something students carry with them, sans pom-poms.
Head of School Clark Dagget handed out diplomas to the Class of 2008, wishing each and every one of them all the best.
"As you move forward from here and to wherever else you may go, the choices you will make will determine what kind of person you are," Dagget said. "Choose wisely; there's much at stake."

Thrown Out and Abandoned
Rev. Turner:... I realized with time that I was gay and cried out to my God and to the church and pastor (my father-in-law). Because of the teachings I was raised with I felt I needed "deliverance" from homosexuality. They in turn threw me out of home and church with no place to turn. My family, "christians" also, cut me off. I slept under a bridge, in a homeless shelter and eventually spent two months in a psych ward... all trying to come to terms with my faith and my sexuality. I eventually abandoned my faith as I felt there was no longer a place by my Father's side for me.
Dear Steve,
Your story reminds me deeply of the journeys of Abraham, Moses,
David and Jonathan, Ruth and even Jesus. All of these folks tried to tell
the truth and follow the way of God. Yet, people would not let them, they
cursed them, made fun of them, abandoned them and even killed them. The
important thing here is they knew the truth of God and did not leave God. You
are correct in saying and knowing that God has a place for you and is
calling you this moment. It is those who have rejected God's creation that
need to feel alone.
I remember when I was in MCC there was outstanding preacher who told a
story about a lamb that like to eat purple grass instead of green grass.
All the other sheep made fun of the lamb and told the lamb that the good
shepherd would not love the little lamb if it kept doing what it was doing.
It got so bad that the little lamb would go off all by itself in search of
purple grass. Of course you know it was dangerous to be away from the
flock. One day the good shepherd came and noticed that the little lamb
wasn't with the other sheep. Upon asking where the lamb was, the good
shepherd was told about the purple grass and where the little lamb could be
found. The good shepherd went to the little lamb and when the little lamb
was found asked why it was not with the other sheep. The little lamb
explained that it liked purple grass and that was against the rules and if
it continued to eat this purple grass the good shepherd would not love the
little lamb. At once the Good Shepherd said to the little lamb, "Who said
that I would not love you?"
My friend who said that God would not love you? Yes, the powers of
darkness are telling you that you are not loved, but that still small voice
of God is calling you just as you are whether you are eating purple grass or
gay, it doesn't matter. I know that when I heard that preacher that day I
heard God speak to me, call me. I knew in that instant what you know
now: God created you, God named you, God is calling you just as you are
and that is good. Remember:
What may we say about these things? If
God is for us, who is against us?
He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will
he not with him freely give us all things?
Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us
clear from evil;
Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was
put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of
God, taking our part.
Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain,
or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?
As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death
every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.
But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.
For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or
things present, or things to come, or powers,
Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made,
will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
God bless,
--Romans 8:31-39

ONU migration in dynamic Time and Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Network (TWDM-PON) |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 18, pp. 21491-21499 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (868 KB)
We propose a novel Optical Network Units (ONU) migration mechanism within the Time and Wavelength Division Multiplexed PON (TWDM-PON) framework by rearranging the working ONUs to a minimum number of wavelengths and turning off the rest to save power. We show through simulation that the number of working wavelengths can be minimized up to a theoretical lower bound, e.g. 23%, under the typical ONU online profiles. We further investigate how the migration interval and delay influence the user Service Level Agreement (SLA). We find that under the example ONU online profiles, 99.99% ONU SLA can be realized with the migration delay of 1000 milli-seconds. However to realize 99.999% ONU SLA, the migration delay must be 100 milli-seconds or lower.

James Wright
President Emeritus and Eleazar Wheelock Professor of History, Dartmouth College
February 2, 2010 — 4:10 PMEast Pauley Ballroom, MLK Student Union — 2nd, Floor, UC Berkeley Campus
About The Lecture
James Wright will describe some of the changing assumptions and attitudes that frame the history of veterans affairs in the United States. He will discuss some of the issues faced by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and reflect upon some changes in the popular view of these veterans as compared to the public attitude in the 1960s and 1970s regarding the Vietnam war veterans.
About James Wright
President Wright is recognized not only for his important scholarly writings to the field of American political history, but also for his many contributions to the welfare of American war veterans. In 2005, Wright began a series of visits to U.S. military medical facilities in Washington, D.C., where he met marines and other U.S. military personnel who had been wounded in the course of service in Iraq and Afghanistan. (He had himself enlisted in the Marine Corps for three years when he was seventeen years old. He was discharged at the rank of Lance-Corporal.) In 19 visits over four years, he has encouraged the injured servicemen and women to continue their education.

Arlington County Public Safety Radio System Upgrades Expedited processing of FDPA - C - 108-3 and the associated 2232 application
December 5, 2005
Mr. Chairman: The Arlington County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is in the process of upgrading its public safety radio system. This system supports Arlington County's emergency first responders (police, fire and emergency medical), and also the City of Falls Church and mutual aid operation with Fairfax County. Arlington is also replacing its public safety mobile digital communication system for public safety.
Since 1991, Arlington County has utilized the building at 6400 Arlington Boulevard, Tax Map 51-3 (1) 1B, currently BB&T Bank, for a telecommunication facility in addition to sites within Arlington County. That facility/final development plan was approved on October 22, 1991.
Arlington County OEM has filed the necessary Section 15.2-2232 application with the Department of Planning and Zoning, and has also filed a required rezoning application package, to include building ownership concurrence. Arlington County is requesting approval of new radio antennas and microwave dish antennas to support its communication systems. Arlington also utilizes space within the building to house the necessary radio system equipment.
Arlington County OEM has requested expedited processing of its applications.
I move that the Board direct staff of the Department of Planning and Zoning to proceed with expedited processing of Arlington County's pending 2232 application and FDPA-C-108-3.
This motion does not relieve the Applicant from complying with all regulations, ordinances, or adopted standards, and does not prejudice the consideration of the pending 2232 and FDP applications in any way.

ANN MCFEATTERS: Thanks owed to Iowa and New Hampshire
WASHINGTON — Just think, folks. In a couple of weeks Iowa will be just another cold Midwestern state, not the central focus of the bizarre world of politics.
As the rest of us tried to blot out the zany world of Washington and the creepiness of the presidential race by immersing ourselves in holiday spirit, the people of Iowa have to decide what they're going to do on Jan. 3 when they tell their friends and neighbors whom they prefer.
Paul? Gingrich? Romney? Santorum? Bachmann? Huntsman? Perry? None of the above?
For a nation with 312 million people, isn't it strange that a few thousand people getting together in living rooms, school gyms and church basements in one of our smaller states will decide the "frontrunner" in the GOP race by electing delegates to 99 county conventions, not even 1 percent of the nation's delegates to the GOP nominating convention?
Isn't it weird that then everybody in the political world runs to New Hampshire, another one of our smaller states, to see what happens in midnight voting in Dixville Notch, an unincorporated village of about 75 people?
The media hoopla that surrounds the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary is extraordinary. No political reporter ignores them. And yet, they prove little. For example, Mike Huckabee won Iowa four years ago, and Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire.
After 13 GOP debates this year, the field is still in flux. It now looks as if libertarian Ron Paul may edge out Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney in Iowa. But of one thing you can be sure — Paul will not be the nominee of the Republican Party in August in Tampa, Fla.
Basically, it all comes down to money. The frontrunners in Iowa and New Hampshire excite donors and go on to compete in South Carolina and Florida. In Iowa, about $13 million has been spent on political ads, mostly negative, by the candidates and political action committees, which don't have to disclose donors. By the time we actually vote in November that will be a few billion.
It's all so arcane and counter-intuitive. If Paul wins in Iowa, that helps Romney, who will win New Hampshire, which is next door to Massachusetts, where Romney once was governor.
Even if Gingrich wins Iowa, he won't win New Hampshire and that helps Romney because everybody will focus on Gingrich's baggage.(All those wives, all that venom from former House colleagues, all those ethics questions, all that money from sources he now attacks, all the doubt about his lack of discipline and management skills, all those strange statements about getting rid of child labor laws, lighting highways from outer space, colonizing the moon and junking the Constitution by getting rid of independent judges).
When that happens, Romney thinks he will be the last man standing, even though voters don't identify with him, think he's a stiff snob ($10,000 bets? really?) and have no idea what he would do if elected president because he's taken both sides of so many issues.
And what happens if Ron Paul runs as a third party candidate?
You have to understand that political junkies feast on this stuff.Meaningless polls are mother's milk to them. Iowa and New Hampshire are a buffet because reporters and operatives can travel easily from one political gathering to another, sizing up candidates, watching them at county fairs, pancake breakfasts and town meetings.
(Has Romney worn a tie in the last six months? How many outfits does Bachmann have? Does Santorum know how to laugh? Is Perry capable of pronouncing a "g"? Can Gingrich talk without bellowing?)
Iowa and New Hampshire have really nice people but are unrepresentative of the nation on diversity, economics and social conservatism.But as we count our blessings this season, we should thank the people of Iowa and New Hampshire who endured so much so that the rest of us could rest up for 2012.

DIY Binki and Mitten Clips
Want a creative and easy gift idea for the expecting mother or young kids! Look no further because these are just about the easiest thing you can create! Ok..ok..maybe that's a little over the top, but seriously I started making these and couldn't stop! I am always looking for creative items to make as gifts that are easy to make.
When little E was born we could not go anywhere without that binki. I know some of you understand..how tragedy struck whenever we forgot it! However, as organized as I am binki's and mittens for that matter always seem to get lost in this house. So here is a way to make your own changeable binki and mitten clips. Using ribbon of your choice you can make a bunch of them and then change them to match whatever their wearing.
Ribbon (one inch wide ribbon works best)
Iron on velcro (found in the sewing supply section of Joann's
Mitten clips (also found in the sewing supply section of Joann's)
Interchangeable Binki Clips:
Measure and cut your Ribbon. (hint: I cut my ribbon with pinking shears so it wouldn't fray)
Place sticky side of velcro onto ribbon, turn ribbon over and iron on.
Make sure to leave enough room between the velcro for the binki and clip to fit.
so cute...
Mitten Clips:
Follow the same steps for the binki clips except make this ribbon much shorter.
Happy Crafting!

The California Legislature ended its 2013 session on September 13, 2013. The Legislature passed a number of insurance-related bills during this year's session. Some of the bills passed this year have already been signed into law; other passed bills are waiting action by Governor Jerry Brown.
Here are summaries of noteworthy new laws and bills being considered by Governor Brown.
New Laws
AB 584 requires admitted and nonadmitted insurance companies to regularly conduct an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) consistent with the NAIC's ORSA Guidance Manual. Upon the request of the Insurance Commissioner, an insurer must submit an ORSA Summary Report to the Insurance Commissioner. AB 584 provides that the Report is not subject to public disclosure. An insurer that has an annual direct written premium of less than $500 million is exempt from the bill's requirements however the Insurance Commissioner has the authority to require an exempt insurer to conduct an ORSA based on specified criteria. AB 584 becomes operative on January 1, 2015.
AB 1236 authorizes a licensed contractor organized as a limited liability company to obtain statutorily required liability insurance coverage from an eligible surplus line insurer. AB 1236 goes into effect on January 1, 2014.
SB 146 has three elements. First, the bill provides that a copy of a prescription for workers' compensation pharmaceutical services is not necessary unless the provider of services has entered into a written agreement that requires a copy of the prescription for a pharmacy service. Second, an employer, pharmacy benefit manager, insurer, or third-party claims administrator may request a copy of the prescription during a review of any records of prescription drugs dispensed by a pharmacy. Third, any entity that submits a pharmacy bill for payment, on or after January 1, 2013, and is denied payment for not including a copy of the prescription from the treating physician, has until March 31, 2014 to resubmit the bill for payment. SB 146 went into effect on August 19, 2013.
Bills Being Considered by the Governor
Governor Brown has until October 13, 2013 to act on these bills.
AB 32 would increase the annual aggregate amount of qualified investments eligible for the existing Community Development Financial Institution tax credit from $10 million to $50 million. AB 32 would authorize the Insurance Commissioner to adopt emergency regulations to implement this credit against the insurance gross premium tax. AB 32 would require the Legislative Analyst's Office, on or before June 30, 2016, to submit a report to the Legislature on the effectiveness of the tax credits allowed.
AB 1113 would make changes to the provisional driver's license program which applies to individuals between 16 and 18 years old. AB 1113 would require a person to hold an instructional driver's permit for a minimum of nine months prior to applying for a provisional driver's license (current law sets a minimum of six months), would prohibit a provisional licensee from driving between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., with exceptions (current law sets the hours at 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.), and would prohibit a provisional licensee from transporting passengers who are under 21 years of age, with exceptions (current law applies the prohibition to passengers under 20 years of age).
AB 1309 would limit access to the occupational disease and cumulative injury provisions of California's workers' compensation laws for professional athletes who are employed by out-of-state teams.
AB 1371 would require the driver of a vehicle to provide a three-feet distance between the vehicle and a bicycle when passing.
AB 1391 is the Department of Insurance's omnibus bill which addresses a number of issues. Among other things, AB 1391 would repeal Insurance Code provisions which exempt risk retention groups from the Business Transacted with Producer Controlled Insurer Act, would modify statutory provisions relating to insurer risk-based capital reports to conform to NAIC model language, would amend statutory provisions relating to the exam waiver for licensees moving to California to conform to the NAIC Producer Licensing Model Act, and would specify in statute a three-hour ethics component for inclusion in the 24 hours of continuing education which agents and brokers must complete every two years.
SB 36 would require the Department of Insurance to include on its website a dedicated web page that includes workers' compensation data, statistics, and reports relating to insurers, including, but not limited to, claims loss data, expenses and financial reports. The Department would only use data already collected by both the Department and the Department of Industrial Relations.
SB 161 would establish required attachment points and exclusion prohibitions for stop-loss health insurance for small employers.
SB 251 would allow an insurer to offer its automobile, homeowners, earthquake, commercial and workers' compensation insurance policyholders the option to receive renewal notices electronically.
SB 353 would require health care service plans and insurers that advertise or market health insurance products in the individual or small group markets in a non-English language that is not a threshold language described in the Health and Safety Code or the Insurance Code to provide specified documents and communications in that non-English language.
SB 476 would eliminate the sunset dates for the Auto Consumer Assessment, the Organized Automobile Fraud Activity Interdiction Assessment, and the Life and Annuity Consumer Protection Fund. The bill also would lower the maximum assessment for the Auto Consumer Assessment from $0.30 per vehicle to $0.25 per vehicle and would expand the application of Life and Annuity Consumer Protection Fund to include life insurance and annuity products valued at less than $15,000.
SB 639 would codify certain provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) and would allow a carrier, no more frequently than each calendar quarter, to establish an index rate for the small employer health insurance market based on the total combined claims cost for providing essential health benefits within the single risk pool required by the ACA.

Force Under Pressure: How Cops Live and Why They Die, by Lawrence N. Blum, Ph.D., police psychologist, might be a book which would interest you.
Dr Blum offers a LE seminar called I'm Shot in which he not only discusses situations where cops were seriously injured and survived shooting situations, but he invites such cops to be guest speakers at his seminar. Although the seminars are LE-only type events, his book contains related interesting material covered in the seminar. You might consider looking for the book in paper or e-book format online if this subject interests you. I've attended his seminar a couple of times and have listened to several of his guest speakers who have survived serious, life-threatening injuries during such situations.

I never got shot in Iraq, but I was involved in a firefight after suffering a broken tailbone, 5 blown discs in my spine and a mild concussion. The adrenaline rush got me through the fight, but once all was over I could barely move.

My cousin was target practicing with some buddies and caught a ricochet 22 bullet in the calf of his leg. He was about seventeen YO. He described to me how much it hurt (burning sensation); and, he couldn't walk on that leg for several weeks. It was a real mess.
So, I learned from his experience that a 22 bullet can do lots of damage. He was out of commission instantly and for a long time didn't have any desire to go shooting again. |

Some lecture that I heard (maybe a podcast?) had the best advice for mindset that I've heard:
If you are alive enough to know that you've been shot, then you are also alive enough to keep fighting. |

^+1000 That is exactly my view on the subject. I will not stop fighting until physically incapable of it. That is my mindset, however I cannot say what I would do since I have never been in a SD situation. I will keep my mindset though.

Gay Marriage, Cuomo Style
JESSICA BADER: For my parents' generation, major historical moments always seemed to have the question "where were you when…?" attached. Even for me and my peers, things that took place before online social networking was the all-encompassing force that it is today, "where were you when…?" still mattered. But for recent paradigm-shifting events, that question seems archaic. Following the torrent of tweets and status updates Friday night as New York passed marriage equality reinforced my belief that this was both a huge tipping point and really not a big deal.

Waiting For Health Care
DANI ALEXIS RYSKAMP: Freshman GOP Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) put his foot in his mouth the other day by insisting to know why he had to wait 28 days for his health benefits to kick in. But give the guy a break: not only did he lodge his foot in his mouth, but now he has to wait four weeks for his podiatrist to dig it out.
HOWARD MEGDAL: When the liberal media bias nonsense is perpetrated, I often think about stories like these, and how little we hear about them. I guess the theory goes that when a story like this is buried, but Park51 turns into a month-long conversation about whether Muslims=terrorists, that's just the liberal media covering its tracks?

Olympia Snowe Party Switch: Worth It?
DANI ALEXIS RYSKAMP: Rumors are circulating that Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine may be contemplating a switch to the Democratic Party, or may be being wooed to do so. Unfortunately, I suspect the Dems would simply be getting another Blue Dog who was less helpful than otherwise.
JESSICA BADER: While it's interesting to speculate about what would happen if Olympia Snowe switched parties, it's pretty much an academic exercise. In fact, I'd be shocked if any member of Congress were to switch parties over the next two years. Continue reading

Election 2010 Predictions
HOWARD MEGDAL: Senate: Republicans gain six seats.
Notable: Reid wins, Manchin wins handily, Buck wins, Toomey wins, Boxer wins by double-digits. McAdams loses heartbreaker to Miller. Murkowski third.
CHRIS PUMMER: I'm not sure about the Senate. I've been championing Harry Reid's ability to survive, Joe Sestak's ability to come back, and I know Russ Feingold outperformed the polls pretty solidly six years ago. Only Reid doesn't look like a dubious position right now.
JESSICA BADER: Republicans gain 5 Senate seats (Arkansas, Indiana, North Dakota, Wisconsin by a smaller margin than the polling indicates, and one of CO/IL/NV/PA). Alaska will not yet be decided by the time the next Congress is sworn in.

A Meek Endorsement: Enough for Crist to Win?
HOWARD MEGDAL: I guess it doesn't matter- it isn't happening. Kendrick Meek is clearly in this race until the end. With early voting already underway, Bill Clinton stumping for him, President Obama recording ads- Meek is not leaving this race.
And that's a shame, since his exit is likely the only way a Democrat wins this seat.
JESSICA BADER: I've seen the poll numbers. My nostrils still flare a bit when I think of the special election in Hawaii's 1st Congressional District a few months ago, where a Republican won a D +11 district with less than 40% of the vote because neither of the Democrats would drop out of the race and throw their support to the other. So why do I disagree so strongly with Howard on this? Continue reading

Democratic Loyalty
AKIE BERMISS: Last week, after Vice President Biden's exhortation of the Democratic base, there was great deal of blow back from liberals across the board. I spent nearly an hour on twitter arguing with a friend and fellow-blogger as to whether liberals should or should not abandon the party. Biden was characteristically crass and undiplomatic in his speech and what stuck in many Democrats craws was his demand that we all "stop whining." While I think that may have been quite possibly the worst way to put it, I do basically agree with the sentiment. Continue reading

This week we got our hands on the Nokia N9, the first MeeGo handset from Nokia, and quite possibly the last.
We also spent some time looking at HTC's Android-toting Salsa, while in the TV world we sat down to watch the rather excellent Sharp LC-46LE831E and the Panasonic TX-P55VT30B.
Read on for this week's hottest reviews on TechRadar.
The N9 is the first MeeGo smartphone from Nokia and so far we think it's a rather lovely piece of kit. The MeeGo 1.2 iteration on the Nokia N9 is a real departure from the maddening confusion of Symbian, with the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 OMAP 3630 processor, PowerVR SGX530 graphics and 1GB of RAM all working together to deliver a fluid response under the finger.
This is how a phone is supposed to work, with a rapid response to swiping and movement. Symbian Anna had better be as good, otherwise we'll be very disappointed in Nokia. The full review is on its way but in the meantime check out our hands-on review.
The HTC Salsa is yet another impressive Android phone from HTC, with its polished Sense interface as smooth, reliable and feature-packed as ever. The only flaws here are the phone's puzzling lack of internal memory and a camera that occasionally gets itself awfully bogged down.
If the camera worked a little more smoothly and if there was a touch (well, a lot) more app storage space, it would be the perfect mid-sized Android phone. It's a well-made phone that's enjoyable to use and a breath of fresh air in a world of bland black slabs - but today's app-hungry smartphone users will find its lack of onboard memory a daily frustration.
By adding an extra colour - yellow - to the usual RGB mix in every pixel of its Quattron range of TVs, Sharp was trying to take picture quality up to another level. After a few years struggling to compete at the lower end of the market, it's good to see Sharp returning to its roots by concentrating on thoroughly high-end screens such as this LC-46LE831E.
Sharp has always championed LCD and the technology's evolution continues - this is a rather special home cinema screen that's surely the finest edge LED-lit screen around, but it won't appeal to those after a user-friendly living room TV.
Believe it or not this is Panasonic's first ever 55-inch TV. It usually releases 50 and 60-inch versions of its high-end TV ranges but this set changes all that. The screen starts establishing its flagship credentials right away by being exceptionally slim for a plasma TV. It's also absolutely brilliant, and packs some of the best (if not the best) picture quality in town.
Samsung has grabbed the rest of the netbook-producing market and turned it upside-down with the NC110, setting the bar high in a market that already seemed to be saturated to the maximum. It's often hard to be hopeful about something that far down the price bracket, because it almost seems destined to fail. But we've genuinely been surprised by the Samsung NC110's abilities.

Spinning Out
Politics in public works: This is a prime example of the Brown administration ["Devil in the Details," by Bob Burtman, March 1]. The fact that the contractor screwed over his "very dear friends and great people" should tell you something about his character. Dear friends? I don't think so anymore. Great people? Of course -- they're the ones responsible for the success this guy has had.
It took people around him to get him going. But through politicking, he obviously has taken the work of other honest, hardworking minorities who might have competed for the business.
His greed is further exemplified by the fact that anytime his success demanded by contract that he recognize it through payment of money to others, he instead fired them or just didn't pay them. Misleading is a word that would appear to describe his character and organization. Current city officeholders call this spin, right?
Houston is known for this type of bullshit. This contractor claims he has a doctorate and uses the guise of religion to further cloak his activities to his Hispanic brothers and the rest.
He says his detractors are jealous. The thing that really stings is that there are probably 100 hardworking small companies that will never get the contracts because of him, and that is really a shame.
Keep up the good work to let these people know that the only people they fool are themselves and the other fools they pal around with!

Pas de Ben
Stand up for Stevenson: As a former member of the Houston Ballet, I have witnessed first-hand the genius of its artistic director [The Insider, by Tim Fleck, March 8]. He is Houston Ballet. Why aren't those poor little rich girls on the board standing up for Ben, the man who has enriched their lives for the past 25 years?
Is balancing the budget so important that artistic integrity is lost? Come on, Houston, rally for Mr. Stevenson and get that wicked witch C.C. Conner out! I mean, just look at what he did for the Joffrey Ballet.

Continuing Pain
Convicts and cash: When my son was 17, he was arrested after dropping off some of his friends who proceeded to rob someone. Kirsten Pain ["Pain for the Prosecution," by Steve McVicker, June 26, 1997] told my son that either he could sign a guilty plea or she would offer him a life sentence, so he signed.
This woman who regularly broke the law herself sent my son to prison for 45 years. Now, while my son sits in the Ferguson Unit, he gets to see killers, rapists and other violent offenders come and go.
What justice is that? Why? Because we are poor? Is it always going to be that you can buy your way out of anything as long as you have enough money? I've seen inmate stats on race. I have to wonder if there's a report out there about what percentage is just poor.
I love my son and would like to have him home, but she had to do only 45 days -- not 45 years.

Bucking Around
Trash talk: I don't know how I missed the article on the PETA ad ["Ad-verse Reaction," by Jennifer Mathieu, January 11], but I do think it is very funny. I don't like an eight-second ride myself. It was a little "trashy," but cowboys are sometimes trashy anyway.
Susan Craig
Food Fight
Dishing it out: I used to look forward to the restaurant reviews in the Houston Press. Margaret Briggs and Dennis Abrams did fine, although at the time I probably didn't appreciate them as much as I should have.
Robb Walsh, however, is a disaster. First and foremost, his columns are not about food. I just read the bit about Dom Capers ["Beefing Up the Coach," March 8], and all I can say is "Who cares?" Nineteen out of 30 paragraphs of the story had nothing to do with food.
I recall the "review" about Café Rabelais ["French Utopia," December 7]. That one was all about L'Alliance Française and the lady who runs it. Okay, Robb, so you're connected, but again, this is supposed to be a food column. Or at least that's what I think it's supposed to be.
I didn't see Skewer this week. That column is even worse than Walsh's.
Please get someone else on board to do the job right. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to read Texas Monthly or (shudder) the Chronicle to find out the scoop on restaurants in Houston.
Carole Reed
Editor's note: If you had stopped counting paragraphs for a moment, you would have noticed a black box with the words "Lunch with Dom Capers." That article, and the one on Joan Patrick from L'Alliance Française, were not restaurant reviews but rather personality profiles using food as a backdrop. It is an attempt to expand our coverage beyond the conventional reviews.

When the 680i chipset was launched last month, it proved to have exactly what the enthusiast was after. However, most of those boards range in the $250 area. ASUS has just released their new P5N-E SLI board which offers the 650i chipset. It's a scaled down version of it's bigger brother, but costs far less and still contains a huge punch for enthusiasts.
Under the CPU Configuration you will have a few options of interest. First is the CPU multiplier, which can be changed if your chip is unlocked. If you do have a locked chip you can still change the option here, but it will simply revert to it's stock status once you reboot. Intel SpeedStep can be adjusted here also if you want to use it.
Like the P5N-Es bigger brother, the P5N32-E SLI, there are many memory tweaking options available. In addition to the standard CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-CPC, you can also tweak the secondary timings, such as tRC, tRRD and others including the Async Latency. As we will find out in our testing though, these timing tweaks may not actually be such a big deal right now.
In regards to onboard device configuration, we have the usual slew of options. One thing of interest is the Front Panel Support Type. Some new Chassis' on the market use HD Audio instead of the usual AC'97. If that's the case, you can change it here. If you won't be using your NIC, you can disable it here, in addition to your S-ATA and Firewire. If you have a RAID setup in mind, you can set it up under the submenu here.
The usual can be found under the power configuration, including the Monitor which will show you temps and voltages.
If you want to disable the annoying full screen logo at boot, you can do so under the Boot configuration. Since I am running a water cooling setup, I also disabled the Halt On so as to avoid the "No CPU Fan Detected" on boot.
The last part of the BIOS I will show is one of my favorites. I first saw this with our M2N32-SLI Deluxe review and wish -every- board on the market featured it. If you have a thumb drive, you can save your BIOS profiles to it. This is a huge benefit, because if you fail an overclock, you can simply load up your last successful overclock instead of going through resetting every option manually. Although it takes around 10 seconds to save a BIOS profile to the drive, it will load it instantaneously when you are inside this menu.
So, how does this board overclock? I'm about to tell you.

Dirty Fried Rice
Hot Joy chef Quealy Watson, who's from Louisiana, grew up on his mom's dirty rice; that dish helped inspire this bastardized fried version. The chicken-liver base tastes very concentrated and intense on its own, but becomes nicely balanced in the finished dish. Watch the step-by-step video here.
Crab Fat–Caramel Wings
Don't worry—you won't need to buy any crabs to make these mind-altering wings from Hot Joy. The crab flavor comes from a jarred condiment that's pretty easy to find at Asian markets; if not, use the shrimp version.
Crab Toasts with Spicy Yogurt
Used in place of mayonnaise, yogurt brings tang and brightness to these crostini.
